Do parakeet colors change as they mature or start out lighter and darken as they get older? When they mature, males will have BLUE ceres and when it is breeding season they will turn an even darker blue. Keep in mind that this is for NORMAL parakeets; not lutinos or albinos. In normal female parakeets, the cere can range in colors. The femal's cere may be brown, white, pink, and various shades inbetween. When a female enters breeding season their cere will get a crusty look and will be a dark brown. After breeding season has passed the cere crust will fall off. 8 people found this useful.

What is the difference between a male and a female parakeet? It is notoriously hard to tell the difference between different genders of birds. Often, owners won't know until one lays an egg in their cage. The best method for determining gender is usually DNA testing. However, budgies or parakeets do have some noticeable gender differences. Parakeets have a bulbous piece of flesh at the top of their beaks called the cere. This cere is usually blue or purple in color on males and light brown, white or tan on females. However, albino, lutino and pied budgies do not have these colors on their ceres. Both male and female parakeets have light pink ceres when they are young and do not develop their normal colors until maturity.
